5
’Tis He who in these latter days
From Judah’s tribe should come,
By whom the Father would upraise
The Church, His Christendom,
The Church, His Christendom.
6
A wondrous change which He doth make!
He takes our flesh and blood,
And He conceals for sinners’ sake
His majesty of God,
His majesty of God.
7
He serves that I a lord may be;
A great exchange indeed!
Could Jesus’ love do more for me
To help me in my need,
To help me in my need?
8
He opens us again the door
Of Paradise today;
The angel guards the gate no more,
To God our thanks we pay,
To God our thanks we pay.
